Bhuvneshwar Kumar signs with Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 10.75 crore

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has joined the Royal Challengers Bangalore for Rs 10.75 crore after leaving Sunrisers Hyderabad. This move follows a competitive bidding process in the IPL 2025 auction, where he attracted interest from multiple teams. The 24-year-old pacer, known for his swing and accuracy, has a strong IPL record with 181 wickets in 176 matches. Despite a dip in form last season, his experience and ability to perform under pressure make him a valuable addition to RCB. Kumar's best bowling figures are 5/19, achieved in 2017. He has been a key player in the IPL for over a decade, contributing not only with the ball but also in the field and occasionally with the bat.
